Its not just a word name. Saiide looks like a transliteration of the Arabic Saide and not a form of Sadie. Baloioura really intrigued me.

Some of these names are fantastic and some are almost bizarre. It makes me wonder how many of the "interesting spellings" are due to literacy issues (is Saiide actually Sadie?) and foreign language obstacles (e.g. Marija is probably a slavic spelling of Maria, but is said pretty much the same the same). The word names are interesting - Encarnation is not so difficult to understand, but Clear? and Sultana? I would never imagine dried grapes as an inspiration for a baby name. But I love Sigrid, Amelie, and Eugenie! Very interesting! Some of these names are fantastic and some are almost bizarre.

It's fascinating to see the way the name styles break down across cabin class. A couple names from my husband's family tree here: Archibald, Percival, Leila. All of which I love. Archie and Percy are adorable, Leila just lovely. great post! It’s fascinating to see the way the name styles break down across cabin class.
